FRIDAY EVENING, JULY %.
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE MILLER, of the L. S.

Supreme Court, in recent address salu:
"a decision of great and abiding interest
was rendered in the case of the trustees OF
Dartmouth College vs.. Woodward, and Is
founded upon that section OF the Constltu.
ton which declares that no State shall
make any law impairiDg the obligation Oh
contracts. The main feature OF Inc case;
namely. that State can make contract
bv legislation, as we'll as in any other way,
and that iu no such case shall subsequent
act of the legislature interpose any eiiectuai
barrier to its enforcement, where 1t Is en-
forceable in the ordinary courts OF justice,
has remained. The result of this principle
has been to make void innumerable acts OF
State legislatures, intended in times OF DIS
astrous financial depression and suffering,
to prote ct the people from the hardshlps OF
q rigid and prompt enforcement OF the law
in regard to their contracts, and TO prevent
the States from repeating, abrogatlng or
avoiding by legislation contracts fairly en-
tered into with other parties. This decision
has stood from the day it was made to the
present hour as great bulwark against
popular effort through State legislation to
evade the payment of just debts, the per-
Torrance of obligatory contracts, and the
general reputation of the rights of credit
ors"
1t would be we'll for the Virginia demo,
Gratis who insist upon continuing the exist
ing unsettled condition of their State debt to
ponder we'll this expression of a member OF
the U. S. Supreme Court, the more especial
" as he is one of the four members of this t
court " no dissented from its recent opinion

MANY PEOPLE in Virginia are too poor to
subscribe for newspapers, and are, therefore,
almost necessarily compelled to get nearly,
if not all, their political information from
the mouthy politicians in their immediate
neighborhood, whose utterances, in many

or prejudice. The circulation Of reliable,
simon pure, and outspoken democratic
newspapers among such people would go
